I was very excited as I really wanted to know how YOga can help. I have heard so much about the healing secrets of YOga. Even as we go through various postures, we have learnt how certain poses help to strengthen or lengthen different parts of the body. We learned about body alignment and how to maximize the benefits of the posture and to execute the perfect pose.
On day 1 we learned how sequence of a certain PRACTICE can:
1) Eliminate wind in the body. Perfect for those with arthritis. Meant for seniors- its gentle joint movements. Ayurvedic states that VATA people(air+space) tend to be susceptible to arthritis
2) Sequence for those with Abdominal, digestive problems and diabetes. This requires a lot of ab work
3) Sequence 3 is to clear energy blockage. However its not suitable for people with slipped disc as it has a lot of flexion movements.
This class is really fun though the first 2 days tire me. I find that slow therapeutic postures tire me but astanga strong and powerful movement invigorate me.
I still have another 1.5 weeks for this module. REally interesting.
Today we did a sequence for herniated disc. Slipped disc. REally fun.
Everyday I learned something new. I am so happy!
